Yes, I have some Walton and am holding long-term. I think it is a fantastic project. It's one of those that really can make a big change in the real world.

It is transformative tech, with huge potential for bringing automation into areas where it would previously have been inconceivable. Smart contracts alone will change the world.

I do think that having a target price is very important. If you know exactly at what price you are going to buy or sell a particular coin, then it helps to protect you against making spur of the moment emotional decisions. It is a good strategy.

This is a good and accepted general point, that higher cap coins are lower risk and also have less chance of massive % increases... but it's certainly not always the case. There are plenty of projects in the top 30 that I wouldn't touch, and some outside the top 100 that are think are very solid and low risk. So I think DYOR is always more important.


I didn't follow it at first; when I started I was all alts. Now though I do have some BTC. One good reason to hold BTC is that it encourages you to keep up with BTC news, which can affect the whole market... where bitcoin leads, alts often follow.

I think that a lot of people care about regulation, but often this is just about how rumours of regulation affects coin price.
Personally I think that some sort of regulation is necessary to protect people from scams, and I do understand - without necessarily agreeing - the concerns about anonymity and money laundering.
Fundamentally we are powerless to determine what regulation will look like, so maybe for a lot of people they don't consider it as they have no influence or control over it.

It's too early to say. The current downtrend has been in place since January, and a couple of days of stability don't really mean much. What might be of importance is that the market has twice bounced back from a low of around $280 billion, which might indicate that the major coins are hitting strong support. Personally I think the market is gathering strength for another bull run, but there is not a great deal of evidence for it yet other than the double bottom.

I'm sure that ADA/Cardano is a great project with a great future, and is run very professionally. Long-term I do expect the price to be considerably higher than it is now. However I do think it was overpriced earlier in the year - it hit the top 5 largely on hype with no real working product. We have seen a pullback in response to that, alongside the whole market pullback, which combine to give the big price drop for this coin.
Current price looks reasonable, long-term prospects are very promising.

It depends on your own preference for risk vs reward.

If you want the highest potential reward and are prepared to accept the highest potential risk, then put it all on one coin. You might make a huge profit or you might lose everything.

If you want to limit your risk, then spread it across multiple coins. Then if one of them moons you will make a good profit, and it doesn't matter if some of the others fail.

Personally I spread the risk. But everyone has their own preferences.

This sounds like really good news for crypto in general. Binance is really starting to stand out as a great exchange, and this is the sort of move that will help to bring crypto to the masses. I hope it all goes through as planned.

Yes, I'm sure it will go back to the previous ATH, and then go past it.
Look at the whole market chart on coinmarketcap, and zoom out to one year. Ignore the December rise and Jan/Feb pullback, and you'll see a steady increase. The long-term pattern for crypto is to rise. The last few months have been more dramatic than normal, but haven't changed the overall trend.

I don't know much about Zilliqa, but $10 in 1 year for Cardano doesn't seem realistic, as that would be a huge market cap. It would mean that either a) Cardano dramatically outperforms everything else in crypto and becomes number one in cap ahead of bitcoin, or else b) the whole market has something like x10 increase, with Cardano still outperforming the rest but to a lesser extent.

Neither seem likely to me. Cardano is still young, and 1 year doesn't seem long enough for it to reach the sort of $10 potential.

Icon does look good, but is still more of a risk than other coins. I would definitely split across more coins.
Depending on what you hold already, I would say get some BTC and ETH, and maybe XRP and NEO.

It certainly could do, but really no-one knows. It's all just guesswork.
Personally I think it has a good chance, as $91k is less than 5x bitcoin's ATH.
Whilst it is difficult to say for any one coin, even bitcoin, I'm confident that crypto and blockchain will be vastly bigger in 2020 than they are now.

Although I do think that ETH and even XRP could eventually pass BTC, I don't think it will happen this year.
I'm expecting BTC to lead the market recovery in the first half of the year, and to get a significant boost from LN. ETH and XRP might have to wait a little longer.

I think that smart contracts will be a huge sector, as will IoT. So for me it' a case of researching to identify the best opportunities in these areas relative to current price.
Definitely DYOR though, don't just rely on what people post here.

Yes, I am extremely confident that Ripple will hit $5 and even $10. They have a great product that could transform their target industry - and their target industry is huge. XRP is one of the most solid bets in crypto.

It depends entirely on the coin.
If you are trading $10k of bitcoin, you are definitely not a whale.
If you are trading $10k of a coin that only has $1 million market cap, then yes, you're a whale.

Big fish, small pond. Small fish, big pond. And yes I know that a whale is not a fish before anyone points it out:)

Yes the December rise was fuelled by newcomers pumping up prices across the board - and this is also what caused the heavy correction.
I don't think it's helpful to assign blame though - we were all newcomers at some point.
For people who have more experience December to March is just a blip in the overall trend, and nothing to be overly concerned about. I am a relative newcomer myself, but I don't have any antagonism towards those who entered in December. We are slowly moving along the path to the mainstream. The more people we have, the better.

Yes, this is correct. Cardano is still young, and crypto as a whole is still young. Cardano does look like a good project, but it is important to consider the marketcap of a coin in relation to that of crypto as a whole. This helps to keep our expectations realistic.

Sometimes it is easy - the unprofessional ones might have a low quality webpage, no white paper etc.
But sometimes it can just be luck - you can identify what seems like a great project, but then the bounty campaign is managed very poorly.
